Demand for air conditioners and fans has climbed in Hanoi as
temperatures reached 38 degrees Celsius or higher, according to electric
shop owners.
Yen, a shop owner on Bach Mai street , said sales of fans had tripled or quadrupled compared to earlier months. Fans that cost 200,000 VND - 350,000 VND (10.5 USD -18.4 USD) were best-sellers at her shop, she said, with water-cooling fans selling for 1 million VND (52.6 USD ) in huge demand.
Pham Van Phu, director of Dong A Technique and Trade Joint Stock Company, said sale of air conditioners had increased by 50-60 percent since the middle of last month.
With a surge in demand, his company did not have enough workers to install air conditioners for customers.
Ha, a salesman at HC electric and electronic supermarket, said sales of air conditioners had skyrocketed recently, with customers buying more energy-efficient machines.
To combat power outages during hot weather, customers in Hanoi have also rushed to buy electric generators and rechargeable fans.
A shop owner in Cau Giay district said his store was selling 15-20 rechargeable fans priced between 700,000 VND-900,000 VND (36.8-47.4 USD) every day.
Although priced at 6 million-11 million VND (315.8-579 USD) for an UPS battery inverter or a dry battery, sales of these products has risen remarkably, according to electric shops./.
